Using logarithm, the following equation will apply:
Y = P * [1 + z]^x
Where Y = 2000
P = 100
z = 5% = 0.05
x is the quantity we are calculating for
The equation becomes
2000 = 100 * [1+ 0.05]^x
Dividing both side by 100, we have 
20 = 10 * [ 1 + 0.05]^x
Taking the log of both sides, we have
Log 20 = Log [1 + 0.05]^x
log 20 = x * log 1.05
x = log 20/ log 1.05 = 61.40
Thus, it will takes 61.40 minutes for the number of cells in the petri dish to reach 2000.

Make x the subject of y=alog(5x)
Bond [772]

Answer:

x = 0.2(10^y/a).

Step-by-step explanation:

y = alog(5x)

y = log(5x)^a)   By the definition of a log:

(5x)^a  = 10^y

5x = (10^y) ^ 1/a

x = 0.2(10^y/a)

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: Average per year for the repairs and maintenance is $273.66

Step-by-step explanation:

She replace the brake pads in the third year for $98 and the preventive maintenance plan cost $723 

what did he average per year for repairs and maintenance?

The total cost of repairs and maintenance = 98 + 723 = 821

repairs and maintenance over the first three years 

Divide the answer by 3

821/ 3 = 273.67 dollars per year

In 2009, a town's population was about 9,000 residents. In 2014, the population was about 12,500 residents. Which linear model r
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The linear function that discribes the size of the population in function of the t in years is p = 700t - 1,397,300

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function is defined by a line, so in order to determine the linear function we can use the two points that were given to us to create a line equation and use that as our linear function. The points given to us were (2009; 9000) and (2014; 12500), in this case the year is our value of "x" and the size of the population is our value of "y". The first step is to find the slope of the line which is given by:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (12500 -9000)/(2014 - 2009) = 3500/5 = 700

Then we can use the slope and the first point to build the equation:

p - 9000 = 700*(t - 2009)

p = 700t - 1406300 + 9000

p = 700t - 1397300

The price of tiling a room varies directly as the size of the room. Sam is laying tile in his kitchen. If the tiling costs $4,22
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

239 ft².

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P represent the price for tiling.

Let S represent the size of the room.

From the question,

Price (P) varies directly as the size (S) i.e

P & S

P = KS

Where K is the constant of proportionality.

Next, we shall determine the value of K as follow

Price (P) = $ 4224

Size (S) = 264 ft²

Constant of proportionality (K) =?

P = KS

4224 = K × 264

Divide both side by 264

K = 4224/264

K = 16

Finally, we shall determine the size of the kitchen that will cost $ 3824 for tiling.

This is illustrated below:

Price (P) = $ 3824

Constant of proportionality (K) = 16

Size (S) =?

P = KS

3824 = 16 × S

Divide both side by 16

S = 3824/16

S = 239 ft²

Therefore, the size of the kitchen is 239 ft².
